Juhu Beach and ISKCON Juhu

As a coastal city, Mumbai has many beaches along its western coast.. Juhu Beach is one of the famous beaches of Mumbai for its street food(check my post on stalls at Juhu beach here) as well as popular Italian restaurants. On the southern end of Juhu beach are many luxury hotels and apartments. This beach is also popular for watching aircraft as planes from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport usually takeoff directly over the beach towards sea.

Very near to Juhu Beach is the ISKCON Juhu. Dedicated to Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai, Sri Sri Radha Rasbihari and Sri Sri Sita Rama Laxman Hanuman, the ISKCON Juhu is set upon four acres of prime land and a stone throw away from Juhu beach. Sri Sri Radha Rasabihari reside over a silver and teawook simhasana on a marble altar.  Opened in 1978, the complex includes a spacious marble temple, a recently renovated auditorium, a huge restaurant and a twin towered seven storey guest house where visitors can stay and participate in the daily spiritual programs of the temple.

    Glad you managed to capture the part of Juhu that has no / or very little commercial activity. Just people enjoying themselves. Very nice.
